This recipe is great for receive people: it is easy to prep and most of people love it. The consistency of cream and the flavour of sicilian lemon adds to this dessert, a sharp sense of balance. In fact, the measurements of each ingredient are up to your taste, you just have to try it out as you prepare it (yes, I’m the kind of person who tweaks some recipes “by eye”). So, I hope you like it as much as I do (:

Looks delicious. Right in the beginning of the recipe it’s written: “Remove the water from cashew nuts and almonds.” Do I have to leave the nuts in water before using them? For how long? Thanks. 🙂
Thank you Dario! I just added it to the recipe. Ideally, put them overnight is the better way to make nuts in general soft, resulting in a smoother texture. But if for some reason you skip this step, you can leave them for ~20 minutes in hot water.
